I was 10 years old in 1965 when my history professor dad explained to me the deleterious power dynamic in professors dating their students, even grad students. It made sense then. It makes even more sense now. Sure do miss him.
Things I think about some days: Who funded the Vanderbilt and WashU reports? What pot of money did this come from if it was the institutions themselves? How much funding was it?

Backlash has Trump attempting to sanewash his calls for US cities to be destroyed. Trump didn’t call out LA and San Diego because he thought they were closer to Iran — although he may believe that. He’s an idiot. He named them because they’re in California, a state which will never submit to him.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 21h agoTrump: "They would've probably hit places like San Diego, Los Angeles, first. Because the route for a missile is much more convenient."
Didn’t Trump already get in trouble for inciting violence on January 6th? Isn’t he inciting violence here again?
Remembering a man who immeasurably impacted my life on what would have been his 86th birthday today!
Anyway, like I said. Federal fascism is already here.

Everyone and I mean every one, who had anything to do with this administration, should all go up on charges once this is all over. Don't care who it is. They all took part in it one way or another.

This is apparently happening in multiple areas in the capital. The DC board of elections has been made aware of it and have been in touch with the National Guard to address it. It’s no accident.
